Raven Rescue (Crow)

  • A wild raven perched himself on our fence and squawked for over an hour. I went to see what was up with him and saw that he had four porcupine quills stuck in him, three in the side of his face and one in his wing. This video shows my Mom taking out the ones in his face. Very bizarre he let us get that close and even more bizzare he let my Mom pull the quills out. He hung around for the day and was gone the next. Best of luck Wilfred (yeah, I named him) lol

    That's a juvenile raven! You can tell because the inside of its mouth is still very pink and the feathers around the edge of its beak are still scraggly and not smooth and pretty. Baby crows and ravens make friends with people pretty often cause they haven't learned to fear us yet. (Think of a toddler saying hello to everyone they come across in a store!)

      @thatroxxguy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +98

      The brain is very complex and there are multiple sections with different functions, that all develop in a different way depending on the animal. Raven are called "intelligent" because they are capable of solving problems, not many animals (except humans) are able to solve. That, however, does not mean they are able to understand the same things we understand. Because of how complex the brain is, those 2 abilities (could) be completly independent from each other. Like an A.I., for example, is able to solve multiple problems, but is not aware of itself or other beings. This is also the reason, why I really hate the "as intelligent as a X-year old kid"- comparison. It's really misinformative and not a good picture of how an animals intelligence works.

    So since the raven is intelligent enough to recognise us as problem solvers, I wonder if they can conceptualise some objects being of human origin? When one flies to a village, I wonder if it recognise that village as being artificial? Created by those strange ape things clad in colourful fibres. I wonder how an intelligent bird conceptualises humans in its mind.

    The intelligence on display here is so impressive. This bird A.) conceptualized a possible future where it wasn't in pain from the quills B.) understood a human could help with it C.) decided that pain it would feel getting them pulled was worth the pain it would not feel in the future D.) was able to hold onto this abstract conception of the future as it underwent the pain and stayed through it because of a value judgement it made. I know it seems so obvious, but that says SO many things about how smart it is.

    Corvids, of which ravens are a member of, are some of the most intelligent creatures on the planet. They are proven problem solvers. Ravens also tend to sometimes be a bit more tolerant of being close to humans - even though they are very much wild animals.
    The fact that they sought out humans to help them is not an accident - they knew very well that they needed help and where they could go to get it.

    I tried this with a Raven but I actually had to poke it with porcupine quills so I could later help him out. It didn't work out though.

    Super endearing to hear the raven (crow?) shout "WAAAH!" at each quill in surprise, yet patiently sit there waiting for the others to get plucked. I wonder how much of the little dude's mind comprehended that humans can help (the flock likely saw how you interact with horses, after all!). Corvids are super cool and I hope I get to see humanity make more advancements in the science of animal brains

    Oh, that is so fantastic!! Your mom behaved just right with him/her. But also, he/she knew what needed to be done. Crows and ravens have very good recognition skills and memories. It could be that that particular one or a few of them in his flock, knew that someone at that location was good to them. So he thought to come there for help. It doesn't seem possible at first, but there have been studies now showing that they do indeed behave in this manner. They are the only bird that uses a tool. And one of the only animals that uses a tool within a series of complex maneuvers to accomplish a goal. I love crows. They just feel right to/ for me. And they tend to be very trusting of me in my city. Outside my city though they treat me like everyone. :)
